this is a typical routine of sandy hook elementary school. a place that exuded caring, happiness, nurturing, from the moment you walk through the doors. when you enter the halls, you'll get a smile and cheerful greeting. the children's work is posted in the halls, so that you know what that you are in a special place immediately. sandy hook elementary school seemed like the safest place on earth and its quiet little suburban community. the school has been known for the superb education that students receive for over 50 years. and has been acknowledged as a vanguard school. not only has it been a high achieving school, but it's tradition about caring about the whole child is well known and part of that tradition. the school is an important piece of this community. that morning was like every other morning. after all, routines are comforting for kids. until about 9:30 a.m., when a troubled young man came in with an assault rifle and shot off the glass windows to bypass the buzzer to be let inside. he quickly changed lives of so many people. he

that's what the sandy supplemental allows. it also allows the state to draw down a portion of its hazard mitigation funding from fema in order to leverage mitigation opportunities earlier in the construction process. in the old days, it would take 18-36 months for funding to become available in some instances to rebuild a school. that's too long. can you imagine a community going three years, you know, without even getting their school started? i mean, i realize that sometimes it takes a long time to build things, but you don't want to just wait three years before you start. so the way that we do it now without spending any more money, it's just allowing them to -- the federal government to push out some of the front money to the locals, they can then get started and of course they will reimburse the federal government. so that is a very smart reform that's in there. in addition, we also provide grants on the basis of a reliable fixed estimate for expedited removal of storm debris. this approach will be faster, cheaper and mor
